Important Rules for Run Transfers

  • You can only transfer a run at least 30 minutes before it starts
  • If you miss this cut-off, you will need to cancel the run instead

To avoid issues when transferring a run, make sure you communicate all relevant details to the receiving Runner, including:

  • Run start time
  • Sender requirements
  • Run Runner Service Terms and Cancellation Policy

The receiving Runner has 5 minutes to accept the transfer request, so it’s recommended to call them directly to ensure they are aware.


How to Transfer a Run

  1. Go to the Run details page
  2. Click “...”
  3. Select “Transfer”
  4. Choose a Runner from your Mates group
  • The selected Runner will receive a notification in their App Inbox
  • They have 5 minutes to accept the request
  • If they do not accept, you remain responsible for the run


After the Transfer

  • You will receive a notification indicating whether the transfer was accepted
  • Once accepted, the new Runner becomes fully responsible for the run, including all penalties and benefits
